Previous Meeting Minutes

Approvals of minutes from the 11 October meeting were deferred to the next meeting. It was noted that the minutes are cumulative and describe the progressive work of the committee.

Organizational Items and Authority

The committee completed discussion through Section 600 tables and began the review of Article 7. The primary focus of discussion was the impact commercial design standards might have on the Zoning Ordinance and the schedule for completing wok on the Zoning Ordinance review, including incorporation of commercial design standards.

Review Approach and Schedule

The committee generally agreed that commercial design standards should be reviewed as a part of the committee’s review of the Zoning Ordinance. Discussion centered on whether or not the committee should ask that the commercial design standards hearing and review process now ongoing be suspended until the committee could complete a full review of proposed ordinance changes. Specifically it was noted that most Zoning Ordinance experience was resident in the ZORC and no review of the proposed amendments by knowledgeable zoning official had been conducted.

The committee asked that John West send a letter to the Council requesting the commercial design standards review process be suspended and changes be subject to ZORC review and approval. Dick Adams suggested that to do so would delay the implementation of design standards until the summer or fall of 2006. He indicated that a better plan would be to allow the design standards amendment process to proceed on its own merits and the ZORC incorporate the amendment as an approved change to the Zoning Ordinance. He said that Zoning experience input could be incorporated in the ongoing review process, delaying the scheduled hearing as necessary to obtain the needed input.

The committee agreed that the letter to the Council should be sent and the Council asked to incorporate the design standards hearing process in the overall Zoning Ordinance review.

Reference Materials

The Zoning Ordinance of 12-09-04 is the basis for review. Title 45-24, Zoning, is available at http: //www.rilin.state.ri.us/Statutes/TITLE45/45-24/INDEX.HTM.

Meeting Schedule

The committee agreed that the frequency of ZORC meeting will be increased to twice a month. A schedule will be published as soon as it is determined. It was also suggested that the meeting be moved from the library which closes at 8:00 PM to increase their length. No decision was made on this point.
